Just decided I would take an evening cruise through the Grand Canyon in the Piper...

Just after takeoff



Into the canyon



Down on the deck



Getting a little tight in here



Bugging out big time



Headin Home...



The combined total of these shots is under 500k.  Please respect the rules...

the 4th picture, see the cliff the piper is facing, is it out of focus? get an auto-focus cam, i keep telling ppl. But no,  i am just a painting in the wall everyone ignores.....lol, jk.

Cool shots, I downloaded that but everytime I switched it to something else FS would close.

Kevin, if you like flyin' the canyons, then you just gotta go and do some of the neat ones on the south west coast of New Zealand !....even as default, they are just awesome..........

Oh yeh, nice shots of the Tomahawk ......

Hey Astro,

Cool shots, I downloaded that but everytime I switched it to something else FS would close.

Are you running Windows XP?

Go here, www.carenado.com and download it... also, get the patch for Windows XP (if that is what you are running).  Works for me.

Yeah, the patch should have downloaded with it, but you really should get it.  It does wonders...

Yep, XP. Thanks for th tip guys. I loved the plane but I had to switch at some time, Now I can switch freely. Of course i gotta download it first.......I can't wait!

Ken, do you have some co-ordinates for some good places?  I went and it was nice, but nothing like I've seen in your shots  :)

Kevin, I did a trip south down the south island in New Zealand, and the defaults weren't all that bad.  I have another favourite place to see things like that in my own area here on Vancouver Island.....you can depart Comox and overfly Courtenay Airpark as you head for the Pacific.......if you fly a small A/C you can depart from Courtenay and turn into the island heading for the Comox Glacier.......there is some real nice scenery all over the island......

I've always been kind of partial to Yosemite myself.  That is the most beautiful place I've ever seen.  I stood on a cliff with my toes hanging over the edge and looked straight down 3200 ft.   Awesome...

Yosemite ?     Yet another place, to base some scenic tours from..........Thanks...

Go to Modesto and take off heading due East.  After about twenty minutes you'll run into it.  You'll know when.  Also, I'm not sure if there is an airport at Columbia, that would be a lot closer.

Kevin, not sure if you saw my post on Iceland ? but if you depart Reykjavic and head for the hills, you will see some marvealous snow caps .............detail level was good there.........

Nice shots Kevin, why is it that no-one apart from me will fly the An-225 into the canyon?
I agree with Ken, NZ is one of the little known joys of FS. I've been spending a fair bit of time down there.
